Step 1: Take it to the track.
Actually it's the opposite. If you want to re-use your stock pistons you will need a shorter connecting rod.

You can only…
What the book and movie do share however is a main character named Stroker Ace, and while outside of car culture that name may sound like that of a porn star who specializes in a particular and solitary fetish, we all know that a stroker is an engine that has been embiggened through the application of longer…

Removing the passenger side mirror on your car is a simple modification that will gain you a couple percent fuel efficiency!
Nope, it's because the old school Chuck Taylors fit his buster persona.
I want to know what kind of insurance car companies have for test driving prototypes on public roads because that's an awesome loop hole. If it allows car companies to get away with driving an F1 prototype engine on the street then it's definitely not meeting any typical emissions standards. I wonder what else they…
Slow cars in the rain on a tight circuit... boring. Fast cars in the rain on a fast circuit... exciting...
A multi storey go-kart track would be gangster...
